Semiahmoo Spit Birding
This past week I had my first real birding trip since moving to school at WWU. I decided to make the trip to Semiahmoo Spit, a spit in the Strait of Georgia, less than a mile from the Canadian border. Coincidentally, as I was on my way I saw a report of an American Golden Plover at the spit the day before, which would be a lifer for me. I never found it, even though it was spotted that afternoon in a flock of 800 Black-bellied Plovers, but I doubt I would have missed a flock that big so they must have arrived later.
